Endless fusilade vs haste boost, and epic destiny question

[Such755]

So, which one is better? Endless Fusilade or Haste boost?

Also, regarding epic Destiny for Artificer, I hardly see artificers with Shiradi Champion. Why is that? Don't they get ridiculous DPS from both the crossbow and rune arm affected by the ED like wizards\sorcerers do?


Thank you.

Haste and damage boost last a long time compared to fusillade. So if a fight isn't going to last long, fusillade is better. If you want to build up stacks of master's blitz, line up some mobs with improved precise shot and hit em with fusillade. Once you've got some stacks of blitz built up from fusillade, switch to damage boost to really turn up the dps.

If I understand correctly, shiradi procs are affected by metamagics only when they proc from spells, but not from a crossbow or rune arm. Artis do not have a ton of cheap, spammable, multi-proc spells like arcanes do. So the dps gain that arcanes get from shiradi is a lot more than what an arti gets.

Fury of the wild is good for burst dps, but in between those big bursts the damage is just mediocre. Master's blitz from dreadnaught, however, gives you consistent, reliable, high damage and is my preferred destiny for an arti. Check out Dubbel O'Seven (link in my sig) for an example of casting/ranged arti in dreadnaught.
